"Ferryman" Mask
The Mythical Creature detonated most of its body, releasing a shockwave from a colossal "Flesh Bomb" that struck Nimrod's body directly.
Caught off guard, he was thrown into the air and tumbled several times.
Nimrod folded his golden wings to steady himself; his armor was pitted and covered in blood and flesh.
Large sections of his chest armor were Corrosion and crumbled into pieces.
With a thought, Nimrod's golden wings rapidly spread across his entire body, sweeping away all flesh and blood.
The black armor was instantly covered in Necrodermis, its wings flapped, and the consciousness of the Primarch unfolded.
A moment later, the Primarch captured the three heads.
The Mythical Creature Form has ended!
Its Mythical Creature Form is incomplete and is not Sequence 2.
It should be above Sequence 4, therefore it should be an extraordinary organism at the Sequence 3 level.
Nimrod thought of Sequence 3 of the "Hanged Man" Pathway, "Trinity Templar," which has three heads.
[Strange, I haven't seen it use its Grazing ability.]
Nimrod's consciousness followed the three rolling heads, and as the Mythical Creature Form ended, the two protruding heads retracted.
The entire head tumbled inside the Void Whale's body, its three mouths opening wide as flesh and blood surged into them.
The neck, which had been severely damaged by the explosion, began to heal rapidly, with flesh and blood growing back.
Nimrod flapped his wings, thinking to himself.
There are three possibilities.
One possibility is that there are no souls inside the Void Whale that it has its eye on. Although I haven't encountered any other powerful monsters along the way, the Void Whale, with its body that is 3,200 kilometers long, may contain countless creatures.
Moreover, something is better than nothing.
Nimrod believes this possibility is very small.
Another possibility is that it hasn't developed any abilities beyond flesh and blood, like Black Wolf, who only possesses the ability to "Forced Dream Induction."
The final possibility is that these Mythical Creature only possess a subset of the abilities, unlike Beyonder Ability Beyonder who possess all of them.
While Nimrod was pondering, he had already caught up with the rolling head.
One of the Mythical Creature happened to see the approaching golden figure.
[I just detonated most of my body, creating a giant bomb, but it had no effect.]
After its initial shock, it attempted to detonate its body again.
This time, its goal was not to kill the enemy, but to escape.
It is "immortal in flesh and blood," and can recover even if only one cell remains. As it prepares to detonate its body, it disperses countless cells to escape.
Just as it was about to strike, Nimrod raised his Power Fist and pushed forward.
A viscous, transparent liquid completely enveloped the three heads.
The faint crimson Blood Red that emanated from the weakened three heads was instantly frozen before it could erupt.
After using "Imprisonment" to bind the three heads, Nimrod moved the "amber"-like object into the "Nation of Disorder".
Nimrod did not immediately return to the real world; instead, he went to the Third Layer Space and picked up the bone mask.
He obtained the mask from the Temple of the Great Wolf of Death Morkai Temple in Fenris some time ago, but never used it.
By establishing a connection with the bone mask through the Third Layer Space, Nimrod knew that the mask corresponded to the "Ferryman" of the "Death God" Pathway Sequence 3.
Although he gains access to an army of the dead, everything around him will slowly wither away, like wading through a river of death.
The cost is too high; it's not worth the effort.
Now is a good opportunity to use the mask. The Void Whale is home to many creatures, a significant portion of which are powerful and not ingredients for potions.
Most importantly, there are no other living beings around, and since the Beyonder Characteristic are immortal, the potion ingredients will not become ineffective due to death.
While Nimrod was pondering, he picked up the bone mask and put it on his face.
The mask covered the upper half of his face, and he immediately felt a chill spread from his forehead and temples to other parts of his body.
However, the "Ferryman's" mask did not have any impact on the surrounding space.
Nimrod then returned to the real world, and a cold wind blew up without warning.
The Primarch could keenly sense that the surroundings were rapidly becoming cold and damp.
The flesh and blood of the Void Whale turned grayish-white and began to slowly decay.
With its golden wings flapping, Nimrod flew forward at high speed.
In the blink of an eye, he had already covered five kilometers at high speed, and a group of toad-like monsters with bright blue bodies appeared in his sight.
In Nimrod's view, they possessed no Spirituality radiance whatsoever.
The "Baron of Corruption's" Spirituality spreads to the bone mask.
Whoosh whoosh!
The chilling green mist spread rapidly, enveloping the entire population of Azure Toads.
Within the green mist, the pitch-black eyes held no life, sending a chill down the blue toad's spine.
An invisible, gigantic claw appeared out of thin air and slammed down at the feet of the toads.
Accompanied by a terrifying Shriek, green mist rose up, transforming into a strange gate.
Creak!
The illusory gate opened, and green vines stretched out eagerly.
The vines wrapped around the bodies of the blue toads, pulling them toward the gate.
The green toads struggled in panic, their forelimbs gripping the flesh tightly.
More vines spread over and tightly wrapped around them.
Accompanied by screams of terror, one blue toad after another was pulled through the gate.
Clang!
The illusory gate closed, and all the blue toads were dragged into it.
Nimrod flapped its wings and flew forward for four kilometers.
He hovered in the air, below him a group of crab-like creatures.
They also lack any Spirituality radiance.
Nimrod's Spirituality spread once more toward the bone mask, green mist rose, and the illusory gate opened.
Countless vines spread out, reaching towards the crab creature.
The crab-like creatures, moving in a straight line, emitted piercing screams as they swung their claws, stabbing viciously into the rock-like flesh of the Void Whale.
Dozens of crab-like creatures were pulled up by vines and dragged through the gate.
But there were many more crabs, their claws creaking as they stubbornly clung to the fleshy rocks.
At that moment, a toad with skin that had turned grayish-white jumped out from the void gate.
As they leaped, they sprayed green slime at the crab claws.
With a crackling sound, the crab claws were Corrosion and melted, and the crab-shaped creature could no longer resist the pulling force of the vines.
With a whooshing sound, they were pulled into the illusory gate.
Nimrod continued flying forward, collecting potion ingredients while using the "Ferryman" mask to gather undead creatures.
At the same time, the Void Whale lost a large amount of flesh and blood, and was also affected by the "Ferryman's " withering power, rapidly heading towards death.
He charged all the way to the tail of the Void Whale and pierced a path with the Spear of Dionysus.
After flying out of the Void Whale's body, he turned around and looked at the Void Whale.
The Primarch genome was discovered; the Void Whale was already dead.
He flew to the tail of the Void Whale, ascended to the Seventh Layer of Mindset Magnus's mental state, and his mental power surged forth.
The Seventh Layer of Mindset, created by Magnus, allows one to directly use mental power to lift heavy objects.
Nimrod's eyes flickered with light and shadow, his Telekinesis surging.
The Void Whale's massive body began to move, propelled by the Warp tides and Nimrod, emerging from the Carium Gate.
The 5th Legion Fleet dispersed in accordance with the Primarch's Attendants's orders.
To their astonishment, they saw a colossal object fly out of the Warp gate.
The entire process lasted for two full sidereal days.
The final scan of all the ships revealed that the whale-like creature was 3,205 kilometers long.
With the Void Whale blocking the gate, the Carium Gate can finally be put into use.
